Dance Music Failed to Appear—Big Success Without.

The Mitchell orchestra, of Indianapolis, gave the Van Rensselaer Club the “once over” Friday night when they failed to put in an appearance to play for the annual Thanksgiying dance. The club procured the services of Lon Healy and Perrv Horton and the home music proved very satisfactory, the piano and drums substituting very nicely for the imported music, which was to have included the saxophone. About seventy couples attended and the occasion proved a most enjoyable one. Many of the students were"home and a number of out-af-town guests mingeld with the merry dancers.

BURGLARS BREAK INTO STORES AT PARR

Stole sl>oo in Cash and Carry OS Goods—Bloodhounds are Called Into Service. The general store of W. L. Wood and postoffice at Parr run by him, and the store of G. H. Hammerton ahd poolroom of W. H. Meyers were burglarized, at an early hour this morning. . At Woods’ store and postoffice $493 in cash and checks was taken from the safe. Of this amount S7O was in ehecks, on which payment has been stopped. $l4B of the amount was government funds and this loss will probably not fall on Mr. Wood. A slot machine was also broken open and -the contents, about $3.50 te—sickles, was also taken. A few were taken, but the exact amount cannot be told until an invoice is taken. It is also thought some merchandise was taken. The money was taken from the safe. Mr. Wood feels sure that he locked the safe before closing the store for the night. The safe was found locked when he opened the store this morning, but the money was gone. So he either failed to lock the safe or the robbers were able to work the combination and then locked the safe again in order to delay the discovery of the robbery. At Hammerton’s store a coffee sack was emptied of its contents on the floor and the sack was evidently used to carry away the goods, etc., which were taken, consisting of some rubber boots, underwear, shoes, etc. No money was taken from him. At the poor room the cash register was broken open and 101 pennies were taken. No other loss was noticed there. The robbers evidently entered Hammerton’s store first by breaking the glass in the door and unlocking it. Tracks found near the stores were found of two men wearing rubber boots, and these may have been some of the boots taken from the store. At the Woods store entrance was gained through the front window. This had been broken some time ago and a door nailed across the opening. The door had been broken loose and entrance gained that way. The pool room was entered through a window. / When the loss wasvdiscovered Mr. Wood telegraphed to Danville, 111., for blood: hounds and these were expected before noon, and it was the intention to put them on the track of the burglars, but the rain of this morning will probably prevent the dogs from following the sc&nti* Mr. Wood has reported the loss of the government funds to the post office department and they will probably take part in the search for the burglars if they are not captured before. It is thought that the robbery took place about one o’clock this morning, as Mrs. Wood heard a noise about that time, as did J. N. Gunyon, who lives npar the scene of the robberies. The robbers are supposed to have driven to Parr in a buggy to which one horse was hitched, as tracks were found 1 coming into town from the west. The horse was given a drink at Mr. Woods’ tank; then driven a short distance and hitched to a road grader. After the burglary the rig was driven north. This is the second burglary at Parr recently, the last one having taken place about a year ago.

Unable to Cope With Strike Situa- . tion and Opposed by Businessmen He Gets Out. Samuel Lewis Shank has resigned as mayor of Indianapolis. He was threatened with impeachment proceedings in case other strike troubles ensued and rather than face the charges he got outfof office, the reigns he surrendered being automatically turned over to Harry R. Wallice, city > controller. The mayor made a statement to the effect that he did everything on his part to be fair during the recent strike trouble and that he did not think he could cope with the threatened strike of the teamsters and chauffeurs. Mayor Shank proved one of the most spectacular mayors Indianapolis ever had. He fought the retail market men and shipped in potatoes and sold them at 70 cents a bushel when the merchants had been retailing them for $1.40. He also fought the insurance companies and forced a reduction in rates which is estimated to have saved $200,000 for those who had , the premiums to pay. He tried to force saloons to close on Sundays and gave some peculiar sentences to saloonkeepers and bartenders.

A. W. Thompson, third vice president and chief operating officer of the Baltimore & Ohio, has (galled attention to the fact that a young man may enter the railroad service as a brakeman and i earn as much money as a graduate of an engineering school. “A young man who has had no preliminary training may become a railroad brakeman and get SBS a month salary, which is usually paid graduates of engineering schools when they start with a road,” said Mr. Thompson. “And this same man who begins as a brakeman may look forward to making more than $1,900 a year as a conductor. We have conductors who earn $240 a month, which c is as much as . a professor in college makes. We have in the Baltimore & Ohio service sixty-eight trainmen, who now make, without the recent award of-the arbitration board, $1,935 a year, and 1,474 trainmen who make $1,273 a year. The Pennsylvania road has 1,146 men who make $1,962 a year and a proportionate number who make more than $1,200.”

JOHN EGER. Warren Poole, of Hanging Grove township, has been staying at the home of his father, John Poole, on Main street, since Wednesday, in order to be near his physician for treatment of a badly infected hand. About a week ago a small pimple came on the back of his left hand and it soon spread and caused a swelling of the entire hand. Infection set in and timely treatment doubtless vsaved him from even worse trouble For some time he suffered intense pain and not until Friday did he receive much relief. The infection extended over the back of the hand and between the fingers. He now seems to have it headed off, but it will probably be some time before it heals entirely. Just opened fline barrel of dill pickles. Rowen & Kiser.
